Philip Gould - When I Die

Macmillan was not involved in the making of this film. It represents one person's experience of dying of cancer, and cancer experiences vary.

Useful information

Hearing the news that your cancer can’t be cured can be very difficult. The initial shock and disbelief may be replaced after a few hours or days by powerful and often overwhelming emotions. These may make it difficult for you to think clearly. We have a great deal of support available, as well as a range of information to help you.

End of life shouldn't mean end of choice
